[IMAGE]The History of Shabu Shabu

[IMAGE]

          Tradition and folklore tell us that Shabu Shabu cooking dates back to the 13th Century and Genghis Khan.
As he built his power and became ruler of Mongolia, Khan assembled a massive and highly-organized army.

           As he widened his domination throughout China and Eurasia, his army was constantly on the move.
He developed "hot pot" or Shabu Shabu form of cooking as a way to feed his troops.  The hungry troops would gather around a large pot of boiling water and dip their thinly sliced meat into the pot.

          Purpose of the "hot pot" was to feed the troops efficiently, nutritiously, and to save on the army's limited fuel resources.  By using thinly sliced meat, troops were able to cook the meat very quickly and efficiently absorbing all of the nutrition of the meat.

          The "hot pot" method of cooking survived over the centuries in different regions of China and went through many changes as time passed on....  In 1948, a small restaurant owner in Osaka, Kansai introduced Shabu Shabu cooking to Japan, and within few years Japan introduced Shabu Shabu cooking to the world, today it has gained immense popularity throughout the world.
